Definitions

  • the present invention relates to optical fibres and in particular to dispersion shifted fibres intended to be used in wavelength division multiplex transmission systems.
  • DSF dispersion shifted fibres
  • Silica has non-zero chromatic dispersion at these wavelengths (in contrast to its chromatic dispersion in the transmission wavelength window around 1 300nm).
  • the chromatic dispersion of the silica is compensated, in particular by increasing the index difference ⁇ n between the core of the fibre and its optical cladding, to limit chromatic dispersion of the wave transmitted in the transmission window of dispersion shifted fibres.
  • this index difference shifts the wavelength at which chromatic dispersion is cancelled out; it is obtained by introducing dopants into the fibre during its fabrication, for example by an MCVD process known in the art, which is not described in more detail here.
  • a typical value for the index difference between the cladding and the core of the fibre is 10 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 to 14 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 3 ; the index can be increased in the silica by using germanium as the dopant.
  • Monomode dispersion shifted fibres must also have low curvature losses and low attenuation, just like conventional line fibres.
  • dispersion shifted fibres in wavelength division multiplex transmission systems which transmit RZ, NRZ or soliton pulses is subject to further constraints, all the more so as the number of channels transmitted, the bit rate of each channel and the power on the output side of the amplifier increase and the spacing between channels decreases.
  • a fibre having sufficiently high chromatic dispersion in the transmission window to prevent the phenomenon of four-wave mixing.
  • Fibres are therefore used which have a chromatic dispersion cancellation wavelength ⁇ 0 other than 1 550 nm to prevent the problems caused by four-wave mixing. These fibres are referred to as non-zero dispersion shifted fibres (NZ-DSF).
  • the fibres must have a large effective core area, typically greater than 70 ⁇ m 2 .
  • the document specifies that one possible solution is to increase the effective core area of the fibres, which produces a higher power and a greater distance between repeaters.
  • the document proposes a fibre having a profile referred to as a coaxial profile, surrounded by a pedestal, with an effective core area of 146 ⁇ m 2 and a chromatic dispersion cancellation wavelength ⁇ 0 of 1 500 nm.
  • the chromatic dispersion at 1 550 nm is low and the dispersion slope at this wavelength is 0.09 ps/nm 2 .km.
  • EP-A-0 789 255 describes dispersion shifted fibres with high effective core areas, greater than 200 ⁇ m 2 .
  • the fibres have wavelengths ⁇ 0 , greater than 1 550 nm.
  • One example of a family of fibres has a value of ⁇ 0 at 1 580 nm, an effective core area of 265 ⁇ m 2 and a chromatic dispersion slope of 0.085 ps/nm 2 .km.
  • the fibres described in the above two prior art documents have the disadvantage of very low chromatic dispersion at 1 550 nm; this value of the chromatic dispersion at 1 550 nm does not prevent four-wave mixing.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a dispersion shifted fibre with a high effective core area which also has sufficiently high chromatic dispersion at 1 550 nm to prevent four-wave mixing.
  • the invention proposes a monomode dispersion shifted optical fibre having an effective core area greater than 100 ⁇ m 2 , characterized in that it has a chromatic dispersion cancellation wavelength ⁇ 0 from 1 400 nm to 1 500 nm and low curvature losses.
  • the chromatic dispersion cancellation wavelength ⁇ 0 is from 1 450 nm to 1 500 nm and preferably approximately 1 480 nm.
  • the fibre advantageously has a chromatic dispersion from 7.5 ps/nm.km to 10 ps/nm.km for a wavelength of 1 550 nm.
  • the fibre has an effective core area from 110 ⁇ m 2 to 125 ⁇ m 2 .
  • 100 turns of fibre with a radius of 30 mm have an attenuation less than or equal to 0.1 dB at a wavelength of 1 670 nm.
  • a first embodiment of a fibre according to the invention has an index profile with a core surrounded by an optical cladding, said core including, coaxially and starting from the axis of the fibre:
  • the profile advantageously includes between the ring and the cladding a second intermediate area in which the index is lower than that of the cladding.
  • the fibre has an index profile with a core surrounded by an optical cladding, said core including, coaxially and starting from the axis of the fibre:
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of the index profile of a first embodiment of a fibre according to the invention.
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic representation of the index profile of a second embodiment of a fibre according to the invention.
  • the fibre according to the invention has a large effective core area, typically greater than 100 ⁇ m 2 , and a chromatic dispersion cancellation wavelength ⁇ 0 from 1 400 nm to 1 500 nm.
  • ⁇ 0 from 1 450 nm to 1 500 nm, for example around 1 480 nm, as in the example shown in the figure, proves to be appropriate for wavelength division multiplex transmission.
  • Effective core areas from 110 ⁇ m 2 to 125 ⁇ m 2 are suitable.
  • the invention further proposes that the chromatic dispersion at 1 550 nm be from 7.5 ps/nm.km to 10 ps/nm.km. Those values limit four-wave mixing in the current transmission wavelength ranges and in particular from 1 530 nm to 35 1 580 nm for wavelength division multiplex transmission systems.
  • the invention finally proposes a fibre whose sensitivity to curvatures is similar to that of prior art fibres, or even better. Values of ⁇ S beyond 1 600 nm, and for example of the order of 1 670 nm, are appropriate.
  • the wavelength ⁇ S is the wavelength at which the attenuation caused by winding 100 turns of fibre with a radius of 30 mm reaches 0.1 dB.
  • the invention therefore provides a fibre having an attenuation increment of less than 0.05 dB at 1 550 nm for 100 turns of fibre with a radius of 30 mm.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagrammatic representation of an index profile 10 that can produce the features of the invention.
  • the index profile shown in FIG. 1 is a trapezium+ring index profile. It includes, starting from the centre of the fibre and in the direction of the cladding, a central part 11 1 having a substantially constant index, or to be more precise a substantially constant index difference ⁇ n, extending out to a radius r 0 .
  • the index ⁇ n 1 is higher than the index n c of the silica of the cladding 15 .
  • the index ⁇ n 1 is from 0.75% to 0.85% and the radius r 0 is 0.84 ⁇ m.
  • the fibre of the invention has a part 11 2 whose index decreases linearly or substantially linearly between the radii r 0 and r 1 ; this linearly decreasing index part 11 2 and the central part 11 1 ′ together constitute a trapezium 11 .
  • the index r 1 can take values from 2.75 ⁇ m to 2.85 ⁇ m; the constant index part of the trapezium 11 , i.e. the top of the trapezium, extends approximately 0.3 times the total radius of the trapezium, representing a ratio r 0 /r 1 from 0.2 to 0.5, for example.
  • the fibre then has a first intermediate area 12 between radii r 1 and r 2 in which the index ⁇ n 3 is substantially constant and lower than or equal to the index of the cladding 15 .
  • the index difference ⁇ n 3 is ⁇ 0.02% and the radius r 2 can take values from 4.8 ⁇ m to 5.1 ⁇ m. More generally, values of ⁇ n 3 between ⁇ 0.01% and ⁇ 0.03% are appropriate.
  • the fibre has around the first intermediate area 12 a ring 13 in which the index ⁇ n 2 is higher than that of the cladding 15 .
  • the ring 13 has an index ⁇ n 2 from 0.45% to 0.52% between radii r 2 and r 3 .
  • the index ⁇ n 2 of the ring is preferably less than or equal to the index ⁇ n 1 of the central part 11 1 of the trapezium.
  • the outside radius r 3 of the ring 13 is preferably from 6.1 ⁇ m to 6.6 ⁇ m.
  • the fibre has a second intermediate area 14 in which the index is lower than or equal to that of the cladding 15 .
  • the second intermediate area 14 has the same index ⁇ n 4 of ⁇ 0.02% (or preferably from ⁇ 0.03% to ⁇ 0.01%) as the first intermediate area 12 between the trapezium 11 and the ring 13 .
  • the second intermediate area 14 lies between the radii r 3 and r 4 where the value of r 4 is from 12.4 ⁇ m to 13.1 ⁇ m.
  • the chosen index profile gives the fibre a high effective core area, from 110 ⁇ m 2 to 125 ⁇ m 2 , and a chromatic dispersion cancellation wavelength ⁇ 0 from 1 450 nm to 1 480 nm. It is therefore possible to increase the power of the amplifiers in a wavelength division multiplex transmission system and to reduce the distance between repeaters of a transmission system using the optical fibre of the invention as the transmission medium.
  • the chromatic dispersion at 1 550 nm is 8.8 ps/nm.km and is thus between the preferred values from 7.5 ps/nm.km to 10.0 ps/nm.km.
  • the attenuation in the fibre is advantageously low enough to provide good in-cable performance; to this end it is advantageous for the wavelength ⁇ S of the fibre to be greater than or equal to 1 670 nm or, which amounts to the same thing, for the attenuation due to curvatures to be less than 0.1 dB below that wavelength.
  • FIG. 1 Another example of a trapezium+ring profile like that shown in FIG. 1 has the parameters set out in table 1 below.
  • CD/d ⁇ chromatic dispersion slope at 1 550 nm
  • CD chromatic dispersion at 1 550 nm
  • W 02 mode diameter at 1 550 nm
  • the theoretical cut-off wavelength is generally two to four hundred nanometres greater than the cut-off wavelength as measured in the fibre when incorporated into the cable containing it. Accordingly, the in-cable cut-off wavelength of the fibre according to the invention is less than 1 500 nm and the fibre according to the invention is effectively a monomode fibre throughout the range of wavelengths of the multiplex.
  • the parameters of fibres according to the invention which have a trapezium+ring profile can be chosen as follows to satisfy the requirements of the invention:
  • FIG. 2 is a diagrammatic representation of an index profile 20 that can produce the features of the invention.
  • the radii in ⁇ m are plotted on the abscissa axis and the index as an absolute difference ⁇ n relative to the index of the optical cladding is plotted on the ordinate axis.
  • the FIG. 2 index profile is a coaxial index profile.
  • the profile 20 includes, starting from the centre of the fibre and in the direction of the cladding, a central part 21 having a substantially constant index, or to be more precise a substantially constant index difference ⁇ n 1 , extending out to a radius r 1 .
  • the index ⁇ n 1 is lower than or substantially equal to the index n C , of the silica of the cladding 25 .
  • the fibre then has a peripheral area 22 between radii r 1 and r 2 in which the index ⁇ n 2 is substantially constant and higher than or equal to the index of the cladding 25 .
  • the fibre Around the peripheral area 22 is an intermediate area 23 between radii r 2 and r 3 in which the index ⁇ n 3 is lower than or equal to that of the cladding 25 . Finally, between the intermediate area 23 and the cladding 25 , the fibre includes a ring 24 between radii r 3 and r 4 in which the index is ⁇ n 4 .
  • the parameters characteristic of two examples of fibres according to the invention corresponding to the FIG. 2 profile are set out in table 3 and the respective propagation characteristics of the fibres are set out in the corresponding rows of table 4.
  • the parameters of fibres according to the invention having a coaxial+ring profile can be chosen as follows to satisfy the requirements of the invention:
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 profiles constitute examples enabling implementation of the invention.
  • Other profiles can produce the slope and dispersion values proposed in accordance with the invention.
